She's actually even more so principled by not taking the insurrection lightly and holding insurrection proponents accountable.

How is she keeping him accountable by refusing to work with him? This seems wrong on 2 ways:
- It encourages others to do the same; someone doesn't agree with you on an important issue (pro life?) - just refuse to work with them. This furthers the divide in US politics and is (imo) an overall negative.
- It hurts her own cause by removing support she already has - is this what a representative is supposed to do?

Not working with supporters of the deadly insurrection in which people were targeting her is not a mere "difference of political opinion". That's nowhere near the same ballpark.

>deadly insurrection
Although true this is hyperbole. We're not talking about the "deadly protests" for BLM so why did the capitol protest become a "deadly insurrection"?
A lot of people are calling for Donald Trump to go to prison/etc; does that mean (if he was still president) he should stop talking to anyone saying so?

You do not appear to be arguing in good faith.

In the same tweet she says she’ll work with (almost) any republican on this issue. Just not Ted Cruz (and presumably Hawley and the others pushing election disinformation).
I think your fist point is making this into something more than it really is.
